Rick Rubin’s book, ‘The Creative Act’, draws upon his extensive experience of being a music producer to some of the world’s most successful musicians. In it, he provides perspectives on what it means to live a creative life. In many ways, it reminds me of Julia Cameron’s ‘The Artist’s Way’, as he describes creativity as a way of being, not simply a vocational skill.

I loved it. Is it the best ever book written on creativity? Well, it might well be. Let me explain why.
